,Mice Deficient in Interleukin-1β Converting Enzyme,L-1α and IL-1β of which IL-1β is the predominant form released by human monocytes in culture. IL-1β is synthesized as a 31-kDa precursor devoid of a conventional signal sequence and is processed to its active 17-kDa form by an enzyme called IL-1β converting enzyme (ICE) which has an unique cleavage

Disruption of the LIF Receptor,lular signal (for reviews . refs. . and 2). Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIFR) binds LW that is converted to high affinity binding by heterodimerization with gp130. Other ligands that use the LIFR are oncostatin M (OSM) and cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1). CT-1 utilizes LIFR although all the receptor componen

,Phenotypes of TGF? Knockout Mice,nt advances have been made recently in understanding the functions of these molecules in vivo by the targeted ablation of various members of the super gene family. The family members include the TGF(is, activins, inhibins, bone morphogenetic proteins, Müllerian-inhibiting substance, nodal, dorsalin,
